The other would be to make it a little larger, and able to read college text books/ tables, diagrams, etc. Of course, this would involve co-operation from the publishers of said books.
Actually, I have a feeling the textbook market would love to do the ebook thing for Readers. When I left college, some books were available as ebooks, but often weren't bought because they weren't much cheaper and no one wanted to stare at their computer screen. If they had a ebook reading device, then it might grow. And since textbook publishers are greedy, it would cut down on the used book sales that they don't get any money for.
